Thanks for your reply. I didn’t dig into the history yet, but I might do it 
later. For now, I have a question. What is the actual purpose of the 
GC_add_roots call? Is it just to give eternal protection to the objects pointed 
to by pointers in the memory section? In that case, wouldn’t it also work to 
create a bytevector from the root section and use scm_permanent_object on it? 
Or is this a subtlety where Guile registers its ELF bytecode as if it were a 
dynamic library (also ELF)?

My answer is 'Possibly' to all of that, I don't know the loader code at all.

Greetings,
Maxime.
